Fall Guys Follows Up 'Big Yeetus' With 'Thicc Bonkus' In Season 2

by Liana Ruppert on Oct 05, 2020 at 03:34 PM

From the minds that gave us something called the Big Yeetus comes a new standard of beauty: Fall Guys Season 2 is getting Thicc Bonkus because of course it is.

Fall Guys is an adorably competitive jelly bean battle royale game with a special Mario Party flair, but another big reason why this title has exploded in popularity is because it just doesn't take itself too seriously. First there was the Big Yeetus, now there is a new obstacle on the way to smash those hopes and dreams: Thicc Bonkus. 

So what is Thicc Bonkus other than a perfectly named gaming feature? Like the Big Yeetus, this obstacle course addition looks to continue on the trend of yeeting beans off into the sunset, but with adorably deceptive baby pinks spikes. Because aw, and also ow. 

With season 2 on the horizon promising new content and even better meme fodder, it's heartwarming to see Mediatonic get a win like this because honestly? This game is just fun and it's OK to just enjoy a game simply for its enjoyment factor. Plus, these jelly beans are oddly terrifying, so they've held our attention. 

Thicc Bonkus is here to wreck the day in addition to tons of new skins, levels, and even Medieval additions when Fall Guys season 2 arrives on October 8.
